I have been attending grad school in the IDET program for four weeks now, and I'm finally getting my blog going! But, don't worry I have been taking notes to post on my blog all along. So, here goes:
It seems that many concepts discussed in this class are things I have considered before, however now we are discussing them in more detail. Many concepts in the process of systematic design of instruction are things that good teachers do every day to some degree. I feel that it is good to review those concepts, and moreover to clearly define them. It helps instructional designers make sure they are focusing on important concepts and steps of the design process. I think often times teachers forget, skip, or rush through steps of the design process simply because they do not have an abundance of time. One benefit of taking classes on this subject is that you are forcing yourself to slow down, analyze each step, evaluate your success, and make important steps in effective instructional design more naturally and easily applied.
Some Definitions of Terms:
Education: system/process of teaching and learning
Instruction: how a concept is presented
Technology: “knowledge applied in a systematic way”
Design: “instructional architecture”
Educational technology: using multi-media to aide in achieving educational goals
Instructional technology: from the teacher’s point of view, techniques to help the teacher present information
Instructional Design: planning how best to teach concepts - effectiveness & efficiency
what is the need for the instruction? who are the learners?
